About Blaine, TN

Blaine was originally known as "Blaine's Crossroads" (sometimes spelled "Blain"). During the early 19th century, it was located at the intersection of several important roads, and was the eastern terminus of the Emory Road, which traversed northern Knox County. The community was likely named for Robert Blaine, who lived near the crossroads. Shields' Station, a popular tavern and store, had been built in Blaine by the early 1830s. Blaine later served as a stop along the Knoxville and Bristol Railroad, also known as the Peavine Railroad, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
